U haul will NOT let you tow your own load with their trucks, only options are Enterprise Truck (not a truck at a regular Enterprise) and you'll need to get a 3/4 ton as they don't put a ball or hitch on their half tons, a tool rental/fleet truck rental place, or some Toyota dealerships patriciate in their rental program and if they have a truck with a trailering package you are allowed to tow with it. Those are the only options I found to legally rent a truck to tow with.
